The Savage family enjoys "Santa-ing," as Savage calls it, so much that they started their own business. They now perform as Santa and as clowns at corporate events and birthday parties.
The elves have nothing but praise for Savage's work.

"Kids think that he's the real Santa!" one proclaims, and the others chime in to agree. "He's great," they say, as Savage buttons up his own, equally Christmasy outfit of a green cardigan sweater over a red shirt.
The only question left is whether Savage's own children believe it as well.
No, he says. Jonathan, 7, believes in Santa, but his dad has told him that he's just an assistant.
"Just like the Pope has priests," elf Kelly Kirby points out with a smile.
